This white guy thought it would be okay to honk at me and repeatedly call me a bitch as I was making a legal left turn. When I confronted him about using his 2-ton vehicle to intimidate my 9-year-old daughter and me, he called me a Cambodian n-word.

I hope his friends, family, and employer see this.





Some background: This happened to me today at 4:33pm as I was traveling south on Frances St in the downtown area of Sunnyvale, California, which is part of Silicon Valley. I was trying to make a legal left into a parking lot where Frances St and Olsen St intersect. His claim I made an illegal right is absurd. I was traveling east in the bike lane on Evelyn Ave and the light was green as I turned right.

I was signaling left and waiting for oncoming traffic to pass when this man began incessantly honking at me, calling me a bitch, and telling me to get out of his way. I was attempting to make a left the way the California DMV recommends (see screenshot).





In case anyone is wondering, I *WAS* signaling on my bike with my hand signals. My left arm was completely extended, just like this: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/imageserver/dmv/ ... t_turn.gif





This is what a form of modern racism looks like. He's sure I'm a nice person, but feels like it's his place to tell me what did and did not occur despite not being there. This is one way implicit bias works. He assumes #EvanKlinger 's innocence while assuming I'm in the wrong.
